Description

D2D operation method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal using the method

The present invention relates to wireless communication, and more particularly, to a terminal using a D2D operation and the method by the terminal in a wireless communication system.

The International Telecommunication Union Radio communication sector (ITU-R) is working on the standardization of International Mobile Telecommunication (IMT) -Advanced, the next generation of mobile communication systems after the third generation. IMT-Advanced aims to support Internet Protocol (IP) -based multimedia services at data rates of 1 Gbps in stationary and slow motions and 100 Mbps in high speeds.

3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) is a system standard that meets the requirements of IMT-Advanced. Long Term Evolution, based on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) / Single Carrier-Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) transmission LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is being prepared. LTE-A is one of the potential candidates for IMT-Advanced.

Recently, interest in D2D (Device-to-Device) technology for direct communication between devices is increasing. In particular, D2D is drawing attention as a communication technology for a public safety network. Commercial communication networks are rapidly changing to LTE, but current public safety networks are mainly based on 2G technology in terms of cost and conflict with existing communication standards. This gap in technology and the need for improved services have led to efforts to improve public safety networks.

Public safety networks have higher service requirements (reliability and security) than commercial communication networks, and require direct signal transmission and reception, or D2D operation, between devices, especially when cellular coverage is not available or available. .

D2D operation may have various advantages in that it transmits and receives signals between adjacent devices. For example, the D2D user equipment has a high data rate and low delay and can perform data communication. In addition, the D2D operation may distribute traffic congested at the base station, and may also serve to extend the coverage of the base station if the D2D terminal serves as a relay.

Meanwhile, the terminal may perform a D2D operation by using a D2D setting provided by the network within coverage of another terminal and the network. However, the terminal or the other terminal may move to leave the network coverage.

In this case, the question is how to continue performing the D2D operation without losing the D2D operation. In addition, in order to support such a lossless D2D operation, there is a problem in which signaling should be performed by the terminal or another terminal.

The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a D2D operation method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system and a terminal using the same.

In one aspect, there is provided a device-to-device (D2D) operation method performed by a terminal in a wireless communication system. The method may determine whether the terminal is within network coverage, and transmit information informing the result of the determination to another terminal.

In another aspect, a terminal for performing a device-to-device (D2D) operation in a wireless communication system is provided. The terminal includes a radio frequency (RF) unit for transmitting and receiving a radio signal and a processor operating in conjunction with the RF unit, wherein the processor determines whether the terminal is within network coverage, and determines the The information indicating the result is transmitted to another terminal.

According to the present invention, D2D operation between terminals located inside and outside the network coverage may also be performed without loss. In addition, it is possible to reduce the occurrence of interference in the D2D operation between the terminals belonging to different groups.

1 shows a wireless communication system to which the present invention is applied. This may also be called an Evolved-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN), or Long Term Evolution (LTE) / LTE-A system.

The E-UTRAN includes a base station (BS) 20 that provides a control plane and a user plane to a user equipment (UE). The terminal 10 may be fixed or mobile and may be called by other terms such as a mobile station (MS), a user terminal (UT), a subscriber station (SS), a mobile terminal (MT), a wireless device (Wireless Device), and the like. . The base station 20 refers to a fixed station communicating with the terminal 10, and may be referred to by other terms such as an evolved-NodeB (eNB), a base transceiver system (BTS), an access point, and the like.

The base stations 20 may be connected to each other through an X2 interface. The base station 20 is connected to a Serving Gateway (S-GW) through an MME (Mobility Management Entity) and an S1-U through an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) 30, more specifically, an S1-MME through an S1 interface.

EPC 30 is composed of MME, S-GW and P-GW (Packet Data Network-Gateway). The MME has information about the access information of the terminal or the capability of the terminal, and this information is mainly used for mobility management of the terminal. S-GW is a gateway having an E-UTRAN as an endpoint, and P-GW is a gateway having a PDN as an endpoint.

Layers of the Radio Interface Protocol between the terminal and the network are based on the lower three layers of the Open System Interconnection (OSI) reference model, which is widely known in communication systems. L2 (second layer), L3 (third layer) can be divided into the physical layer belonging to the first layer of the information transfer service (Information Transfer Service) using a physical channel (Physical Channel) is provided, The RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer located in the third layer plays a role of controlling radio resources between the terminal and the network. To this end, the RRC layer exchanges an RRC message between the terminal and the base station.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating a radio protocol architecture for a user plane. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a radio protocol structure for a control plane. The user plane is a protocol stack for user data transmission, and the control plane is a protocol stack for control signal transmission.

2 and 3, a physical layer (PHY) layer provides an information transfer service to a higher layer using a physical channel. The physical layer is connected to a medium access control (MAC) layer, which is an upper layer, through a transport channel. Data is moved between the MAC layer and the physical layer through the transport channel. Transport channels are classified according to how and with what characteristics data is transmitted over the air interface.

Data moves between physical layers between physical layers, that is, between physical layers of a transmitter and a receiver. The physical channel may be modulated by an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) scheme and utilizes time and frequency as radio resources.

The functions of the MAC layer include mapping between logical channels and transport channels and multiplexing / demultiplexing into transport blocks provided as physical channels on transport channels of MAC service data units (SDUs) belonging to the logical channels. The MAC layer provides a service to a Radio Link Control (RLC) layer through a logical channel.

Functions of the RLC layer include concatenation, segmentation, and reassembly of RLC SDUs. In order to guarantee the various Quality of Service (QoS) required by the radio bearer (RB), the RLC layer has a transparent mode (TM), an unacknowledged mode (UM), and an acknowledged mode (Acknowledged Mode). Three modes of operation (AM). AM RLC provides error correction through an automatic repeat request (ARQ).

The RRC (Radio Resource Control) layer is defined only in the control plane. The RRC layer is responsible for the control of logical channels, transport channels, and physical channels in connection with configuration, re-configuration, and release of radio bearers. RB means a logical path provided by the first layer (PHY layer) and the second layer (MAC layer, RLC layer, PDCP layer) for data transmission between the terminal and the network.

Functions of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer in the user plane include delivery of user data, header compression, and ciphering. The functionality of the Packet Data Convergence Protocol (PDCP) layer in the control plane includes the transfer of control plane data and encryption / integrity protection.

The establishment of the RB means a process of defining characteristics of a radio protocol layer and a channel to provide a specific service, and setting each specific parameter and operation method. RB can be further divided into SRB (Signaling RB) and DRB (Data RB). The SRB is used as a path for transmitting RRC messages in the control plane, and the DRB is used as a path for transmitting user data in the user plane.

If an RRC connection is established between the RRC layer of the UE and the RRC layer of the E-UTRAN, the UE is in an RRC connected state, otherwise it is in an RRC idle state.

The downlink transmission channel for transmitting data from the network to the UE includes a BCH (Broadcast Channel) for transmitting system information and a downlink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages. Traffic or control messages of a downlink multicast or broadcast service may be transmitted through a downlink SCH or may be transmitted through a separate downlink multicast channel (MCH). Meanwhile, the uplink transport channel for transmitting data from the terminal to the network includes a random access channel (RACH) for transmitting an initial control message and an uplink shared channel (SCH) for transmitting user traffic or control messages.

It is located above the transport channel, and the logical channel mapped to the transport channel is a broadcast control channel (BCCH), a paging control channel (PCCH), a common control channel (CCCH), a multicast control channel (MCCH), and a multicast traffic (MTCH). Channel).

The physical channel is composed of several OFDM symbols in the time domain and several sub-carriers in the frequency domain. One sub-frame consists of a plurality of OFDM symbols in the time domain. The RB is a resource allocation unit and includes a plurality of OFDM symbols and a plurality of subcarriers. In addition, each subframe may use specific subcarriers of specific OFDM symbols (eg, the first OFDM symbol) of the corresponding subframe for the physical downlink control channel (PDCCH), that is, the L1 / L2 control channel. Transmission Time Interval (TTI) is a unit time of subframe transmission.

Hereinafter, the RRC state and the RRC connection method of the UE will be described in detail.

The RRC state refers to whether or not the RRC layer of the UE is in a logical connection with the RRC layer of the E-UTRAN. RRC_IDLE). Since the UE in the RRC connected state has an RRC connection, the E-UTRAN can grasp the existence of the corresponding UE in a cell unit, and thus can effectively control the UE. On the other hand, the UE of the RRC idle state cannot be understood by the E-UTRAN, and is managed by the CN (core network) in units of a tracking area, which is a larger area unit than the cell. That is, the UE in the RRC idle state is identified only in a large area unit, and must move to the RRC connected state in order to receive a normal mobile communication service such as voice or data.

When the user first powers on the terminal, the terminal first searches for an appropriate cell and then stays in an RRC idle state in the cell. When the UE in the RRC idle state needs to establish an RRC connection, it establishes an RRC connection with the E-UTRAN through an RRC connection procedure and transitions to the RRC connected state. There are several cases in which the UE in RRC idle state needs to establish an RRC connection. For example, an uplink data transmission is necessary due to a user's call attempt, or a paging message is sent from E-UTRAN. If received, a response message may be sent.

The non-access stratum (NAS) layer located above the RRC layer performs functions such as session management and mobility management.

In order to manage mobility of the UE in the NAS layer, two states of EMM-REGISTERED (EPS Mobility Management-REGISTERED) and EMM-DEREGISTERED are defined, and these two states are applied to the UE and the MME. The initial terminal is in the EMM-DEREGISTERED state, and the terminal performs a process of registering with the corresponding network through an initial attach procedure to access the network. If the attach procedure is successfully performed, the UE and the MME are in the EMM-REGISTERED state.

In order to manage a signaling connection between the UE and the EPC, two states are defined, an EPS Connection Management (ECM) -IDLE state and an ECM-CONNECTED state, and these two states are applied to the UE and the MME. When the UE in the ECM-IDLE state establishes an RRC connection with the E-UTRAN, the UE is in the ECM-CONNECTED state. The MME in the ECM-IDLE state becomes the ECM-CONNECTED state when it establishes an S1 connection with the E-UTRAN. When the terminal is in the ECM-IDLE state, the E-UTRAN does not have context information of the terminal. Accordingly, the UE in the ECM-IDLE state performs a terminal-based mobility related procedure such as cell selection or cell reselection without receiving a command from the network. On the other hand, when the terminal is in the ECM-CONNECTED state, the mobility of the terminal is managed by the command of the network. In the ECM-IDLE state, if the position of the terminal is different from the position known by the network, the terminal informs the network of the corresponding position of the terminal through a tracking area update procedure.

The following is a description of system information.

The system information includes essential information that the terminal needs to know in order to access the base station. Therefore, the terminal must receive all system information before accessing the base station, and must always have the latest system information. In addition, since the system information is information that all terminals in a cell should know, the base station periodically transmits the system information. System information is divided into a master information block (MIB) and a plurality of system information blocks (SIB).

The MIB may include a limited number of parameters, the most essential and most frequently transmitted, required to be obtained for other information from the cell. The terminal first finds the MIB after downlink synchronization. The MIB may include information such as downlink channel bandwidth, PHICH settings, SFNs that support synchronization and operate as timing criteria, and eNB transmit antenna settings. The MIB may be broadcast transmitted on a broadband channel (BCH).

Among the included SIBs, SIB1 (SystemInformationBlockType1) is included in the “SystemInformationBlockType1” message and transmitted. Other SIBs except SIB1 are included in the system information message and transmitted. The mapping of the SIBs to the system information message may be flexibly set by the scheduling information list parameter included in the SIB1. However, each SIB is included in a single system information message, and only SIBs having the same scheduling request value (e.g. period) may be mapped to the same system information message. In addition, SIB2 (SystemInformationBlockType2) is always mapped to a system information message corresponding to the first entry in the system information message list of the scheduling information list. Multiple system information messages can be sent within the same period. SIB1 and all system information messages are sent on the DL-SCH.

In addition to the broadcast transmission, the E-UTRAN may be dedicated signaling while the SIB1 includes a parameter set equal to a previously set value, and in this case, the SIB1 may be transmitted by being included in an RRC connection reconfiguration message.

SIB1 includes information related to UE cell access and defines scheduling of other SIBs. SIB1 is a PLMN identifier of a network, a tracking area code (TAC) and a cell ID, a cell barring status indicating whether a cell can be camped on, a cell barring state used as a cell reselection criterion. It may include the lowest reception level, and information related to the transmission time and period of other SIBs.

SIB2 may include radio resource configuration information common to all terminals. SIB2 includes uplink carrier frequency and uplink channel bandwidth, RACH configuration, paging configuration, uplink power control configuration, sounding reference signal configuration, PUCCH configuration supporting ACK / NACK transmission, and It may include information related to the PUSCH configuration.

The UE may apply the acquisition and change detection procedure of the system information only to the primary cell (PCell). In the secondary cell (SCell), the E-UTRAN may provide all system information related to the RRC connection state operation when the corresponding SCell is added through dedicated signaling. Upon changing the relevant system information of the established SCell, the E-UTRAN may release the SCell under consideration and add it later, which may be performed with a single RRC connection reset message. The E-UTRAN may set parameter values different from those broadcast in the SCell under consideration through dedicated signaling.

The terminal should guarantee the validity of the specific type of system information, and such system information is called required system information. Essential system information can be defined as follows.

When the UE is in the RRC idle state: The UE should ensure that it has valid versions of MIB and SIB1 as well as SIB2 to SIB8, which may be subject to the support of the considered radio access technology (RAT).

When the terminal is in the RRC connection state: The terminal should ensure that it has a valid version of MIB, SIB1 and SIB2.

In general, the system information can be guaranteed valid up to 3 hours after acquisition.

In general, services provided by a network to a terminal can be classified into three types as follows. In addition, the terminal also recognizes the cell type differently according to which service can be provided. The following describes the service type first, followed by the cell type.

1) Limited service: This service provides Emergency Call and Tsunami Warning System (ETWS) and can be provided in an acceptable cell.

2) Normal service: This service means a public use for general use, and can be provided in a suitable or normal cell.

3) Operator service: This service means service for network operator. This cell can be used only by network operator and not by general users.

In relation to the service type provided by the cell, the cell types may be classified as follows.

1) Acceptable cell: A cell in which the terminal can receive limited service. This cell is a cell that is not barred from the viewpoint of the terminal and satisfies the cell selection criteria of the terminal.

2) Normal cell (Suitable cell): The cell that the terminal can receive a regular service. This cell satisfies the conditions of an acceptable cell and at the same time satisfies additional conditions. As an additional condition, this cell must belong to a Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) to which the terminal can access, and must be a cell which is not prohibited from performing a tracking area update procedure of the terminal. If the cell is a CSG cell, the terminal should be a cell that can be connected to the cell as a CSG member.

3) Barred cell: A cell that broadcasts information that a cell is a prohibited cell through system information.

4) Reserved cell: A cell that broadcasts information that a cell is a reserved cell through system information.

4 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of a terminal in an RRC idle state. 4 illustrates a procedure in which a UE, which is initially powered on, registers with a network through a cell selection process and then reselects a cell if necessary.

Referring to FIG. 4, the terminal selects a radio access technology (RAT) for communicating with a public land mobile network (PLMN), which is a network to be serviced (S410). Information about the PLMN and the RAT may be selected by a user of the terminal or may be stored in a universal subscriber identity module (USIM).

The terminal selects a cell having the largest value among the cells whose measured signal strength or quality is greater than a specific value (Cell Selection) (S420). This is referred to as initial cell selection by the UE that is powered on to perform cell selection. The cell selection procedure will be described later. After cell selection, the terminal receives system information periodically transmitted by the base station. The above specific value refers to a value defined in the system in order to ensure the quality of the physical signal in data transmission / reception. Therefore, the value may vary depending on the RAT applied.

If there is a need for network registration, the terminal performs a network registration procedure (S430). The terminal registers its information (eg IMSI) in order to receive a service (eg paging) from the network. Whenever a cell is selected, the terminal does not register with the access network, but registers with the network when the network information (eg, TAI) received from the system information is different from the network information known to the network. .

The terminal performs cell reselection based on the service environment provided by the cell or the environment of the terminal (S440). The terminal provides better signal characteristics than the cell of the base station to which the terminal is currently connected if the strength or quality of the signal measured from the base station (serving base station) currently being served is lower than the value measured from the base station of the neighboring cell. Select one of the other cells. This process is called Cell Re-Selection, which is distinguished from Initial Cell Selection of Step 2. At this time, in order to prevent the cell from being frequently reselected according to the change of the signal characteristic, a time constraint is placed. The cell reselection procedure will be described later.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a process of establishing an RRC connection.

The terminal sends an RRC connection request message to the network requesting an RRC connection (S510). The network sends an RRC connection setup message in response to the RRC connection request (S520). After receiving the RRC connection configuration message, the terminal enters the RRC connection mode.

The terminal sends an RRC Connection Setup Complete message used to confirm successful completion of RRC connection establishment to the network (S530).

6 is a flowchart illustrating a RRC connection resetting process. RRC connection reconfiguration is used to modify an RRC connection. It is used to establish / modify / release RBs, perform handovers, and set up / modify / release measurements.

The network sends an RRC connection reconfiguration message for modifying the RRC connection to the terminal (S610). In response to the RRC connection reconfiguration, the UE sends an RRC connection reconfiguration complete message used to confirm successful completion of the RRC connection reconfiguration to the network (S620).

Hereinafter, a public land mobile network (PLMN) will be described.

PLMN is a network deployed and operated by mobile network operators. Each mobile network operator runs one or more PLMNs. Each PLMN may be identified by a mobile country code (MCC) and a mobile network code (MCC). The PLMN information of the cell is included in the system information and broadcasted.

In PLMN selection, cell selection and cell reselection, various types of PLMNs may be considered by the terminal.

Home PLMN (HPLMN): PLMN having an MCC and MNC matching the MCC and MNC of the terminal IMSI.

Equivalent HPLMN (EHPLMN): A PLMN that is equivalent to an HPLMN.

Registered PLMN (RPLMN): A PLMN that has successfully completed location registration.

Equivalent PLMN (EPLMN): A PLMN that is equivalent to an RPLMN.

Each mobile service consumer subscribes to HPLMN. When a general service is provided to a terminal by HPLMN or EHPLMN, the terminal is not in a roaming state. On the other hand, when a service is provided to a terminal by a PLMN other than HPLMN / EHPLMN, the terminal is in a roaming state, and the PLMN is called a VPLMN (Visited PLMN).

When the terminal is initially powered on, the terminal searches for an available public land mobile network (PLMN) and selects an appropriate PLMN for receiving a service. PLMN is a network deployed or operated by a mobile network operator. Each mobile network operator operates one or more PLMNs. Each PLMN may be identified by a mobile country code (MCC) and a mobile network code (MCC). The PLMN information of the cell is included in the system information and broadcasted. The terminal attempts to register the selected PLMN. If the registration is successful, the selected PLMN becomes a registered PLMN (RPLMN). The network may signal the PLMN list to the UE, which may consider PLMNs included in the PLMN list as PLMNs such as RPLMNs. The terminal registered in the network should be reachable by the network at all times. If the terminal is in the ECM-CONNECTED state (same as RRC connected state), the network recognizes that the terminal is receiving the service. However, when the terminal is in the ECM-IDLE state (same as the RRC idle state), the situation of the terminal is not valid in the eNB but is stored in the MME. In this case, the location of the UE in the ECM-IDLE state is known only to the MME as the granularity of the list of tracking areas (TAs). A single TA is identified by a tracking area identity (TAI) consisting of the PLMN identifier to which the TA belongs and a tracking area code (TAC) that uniquely represents the TA within the PLMN.

Subsequently, the UE selects a cell having a signal quality and characteristics capable of receiving an appropriate service from among cells provided by the selected PLMN.

Next, in the prior art, a procedure of selecting a cell by the terminal will be described in detail.

When the power is turned on or staying in the cell, the terminal selects / reselects a cell of appropriate quality and performs procedures for receiving service.

The UE in the RRC idle state should always select a cell of appropriate quality and prepare to receive service through this cell. For example, a terminal that has just been powered on must select a cell of appropriate quality to register with the network. When the terminal in the RRC connected state enters the RRC idle state, the terminal should select a cell to stay in the RRC idle state. As such, the process of selecting a cell satisfying a certain condition in order for the terminal to stay in a service standby state such as an RRC idle state is called cell selection. Importantly, since the cell selection is performed in a state in which the UE does not currently determine a cell to stay in the RRC idle state, it is most important to select the cell as soon as possible. Therefore, if the cell provides a radio signal quality of a predetermined criterion or more, even if this cell is not the cell providing the best radio signal quality to the terminal, it may be selected during the cell selection process of the terminal.

Now, referring to 3GPP TS 36.304 V8.5.0 (2009-03) "User Equipment (UE) procedures in idle mode (Release 8)", a method and procedure for selecting a cell by a UE in 3GPP LTE will be described in detail.

There are two main cell selection processes.

First, an initial cell selection process, in which the terminal does not have prior information on the radio channel. Accordingly, the terminal searches all radio channels to find an appropriate cell. In each channel, the terminal finds the strongest cell. Thereafter, the terminal selects a corresponding cell if it finds a suitable cell that satisfies a cell selection criterion.

Next, the terminal may select the cell by using the stored information or by using the information broadcast in the cell. Thus, cell selection can be faster than the initial cell selection process. The UE selects a corresponding cell if it finds a cell that satisfies a cell selection criterion. If a suitable cell that satisfies the cell selection criteria is not found through this process, the UE performs an initial cell selection process.

The cell selection criteria may be defined as in Equation 1 below.

[Equation 1]

Here, each variable of Equation 1 may be defined as shown in Table 1 below.

SrxlevSrxlev	Cell selection RX level value (dB)Cell selection RX level value (dB)

P_PowerClass P _PowerClass	Maximum RF output power of the UE (dBm) according to the UE power class as defined in [TS 36.101]Maximum RF output power of the UE (dBm) according to the UE power class as defined in [TS 36.101]

The signaled values Q _{rxlevminoffset} and Q _{qualminoffset} may be applied only when cell selection is evaluated as a result of a periodic search for a higher priority PLMN while the UE is camping on a regular cell in the VPLMN. During the periodic search for the higher priority PLMN as described above, the terminal may perform cell selection evaluation using stored parameter values from other cells of the higher priority PLMN.

After the terminal selects a cell through a cell selection process, the strength or quality of a signal between the terminal and the base station may change due to a change in mobility or a wireless environment of the terminal. Therefore, if the quality of the selected cell is degraded, the terminal may select another cell that provides better quality. When reselecting a cell in this way, a cell that generally provides better signal quality than the currently selected cell is selected. This process is called cell reselection. The cell reselection process has a basic purpose in selecting a cell that generally provides the best quality to a terminal in view of the quality of a radio signal.

In addition to the quality of the wireless signal, the network may determine the priority (priority) for each frequency to inform the terminal. Upon receiving this priority, the UE considers this priority prior to the radio signal quality criteria in the cell reselection process.

As described above, there is a method of selecting or reselecting a cell according to a signal characteristic of a wireless environment.In selecting a cell for reselection when reselecting a cell, the following cell reselection is performed according to a cell's RAT and frequency characteristics. There may be a method of selection.

Intra-frequency cell reselection: Reselection of a cell having a center-frequency equal to the RAT, such as a cell in which the UE is camping

Inter-frequency cell reselection: Reselects a cell having a center frequency different from that of the same RAT as the cell camping

Inter-RAT cell reselection: The UE reselects a cell that uses a different RAT from the camping RAT.

The principle of the cell reselection process is as follows.

First, the UE measures the quality of a serving cell and a neighboring cell for cell reselection.

Second, cell reselection is performed based on cell reselection criteria. The cell reselection criteria have the following characteristics with respect to serving cell and neighbor cell measurements.

Intra-frequency cell reselection is basically based on ranking. Ranking is an operation of defining index values for cell reselection evaluation and using the index values to order the cells in the order of the index values. The cell with the best indicator is often called the highest ranked cell. The cell index value is a value obtained by applying a frequency offset or a cell offset as necessary based on the value measured by the terminal for the corresponding cell.

Inter-frequency cell reselection is based on the frequency priority provided by the network. The UE attempts to stay at a frequency with the highest frequency priority (camp on: hereinafter referred to as camp on). The network may provide the priorities to be commonly applied to the terminals in the cell or provide the frequency priority through broadcast signaling, or may provide the priority for each frequency for each terminal through dedicated signaling. The cell reselection priority provided through broadcast signaling may be referred to as common priority, and the cell reselection priority set by the network for each terminal may be referred to as a dedicated priority. When the terminal receives the dedicated priority, the terminal may also receive a validity time associated with the dedicated priority. When the terminal receives the dedicated priority, the terminal starts a validity timer set to the valid time received together. The terminal applies the dedicated priority in the RRC idle mode while the validity timer is running. When the validity timer expires, the terminal discards the dedicated priority and applies the public priority again.

For inter-frequency cell reselection, the network may provide the UE with a parameter (for example, frequency-specific offset) used for cell reselection for each frequency.

For intra-frequency cell reselection or inter-frequency cell reselection, the network may provide the UE with a neighboring cell list (NCL) used for cell reselection. This NCL contains cell-specific parameters (eg cell-specific offsets) used for cell reselection.

For intra-frequency or inter-frequency cell reselection, the network may provide the UE with a cell reselection prohibition list (black list) used for cell reselection. The UE does not perform cell reselection for a cell included in the prohibition list.

Next, the ranking performed in the cell reselection evaluation process will be described.

The ranking criterion used to prioritize the cells is defined as in Equation 2.

[Equation 2]

R _s = Q _{meas, s} + Q _hyst , R _n = Q _{meas, n} – Q _offset

Here, R _s is the terminal is currently camping on the serving cell ranking index, R _n is the neighboring cell ranking index, Q _{meas, s} is the quality value measured by the terminal for the serving cell, Q _{meas, n} is the terminal The quality value measured for the neighboring cell, Q _hyst is a hysteresis value for ranking, and Q _offset is an offset between two cells.

In the intra-frequency, Q _offset = Q _{offsets, n} when the terminal receives an offset (Q _{offsets, n} ) between the serving cell and a neighbor cell _, and Q _offset = 0 when the terminal does not receive Q _{offsets, n} . .

In the inter-frequency, Q _offset = Q _{offsets, n} + Q _frequency when the terminal receives the offset (Q _{offsets, n} ) for the cell, and Q _offset = Q _frequency when the terminal does not receive the Q _{offsets, n} to be.

If the ranking indicator (R _s ) of the serving cell and the ranking indicator (R _n ) of the neighbor cell fluctuate in a state similar to each other, as a result of the fluctuation of the ranking is constantly reversed, the terminal may alternately select two cells. Q _hyst is a parameter for giving hysteresis in cell reselection to prevent the UE from reselecting two cells alternately.

The UE measures R _s of the serving cell and R _n of the neighboring cell according to the above equation, considers the cell having the highest ranking indicator value as the highest ranked cell, and reselects the cell.

According to the criteria, it can be seen that the quality of the cell serves as the most important criterion in cell reselection. If the reselected cell is not a normal cell, the terminal excludes the frequency or the corresponding cell from the cell reselection target.

The radio link failure will now be described.

The UE continuously measures to maintain the quality of the radio link with the serving cell receiving the service. The terminal determines whether communication is impossible in the current situation due to deterioration of the quality of the radio link with the serving cell. If the quality of the serving cell is so low that communication is almost impossible, the terminal determines the current situation as a radio connection failure.

If the radio link failure is determined, the UE abandons communication with the current serving cell, selects a new cell through a cell selection (or cell reselection) procedure, and reestablishes an RRC connection to the new cell (RRC connection re). -establishment).

In the specification of 3GPP LTE, normal communication is not possible and the following example is given.

-When the UE determines that there is a serious problem in the downlink communication quality based on the radio quality measurement result of the physical layer of the UE (when the PCell quality is determined to be low during the RLM)

In case that there is a problem in uplink transmission because the random access procedure continuously fails in the MAC sublayer.

-When the uplink data transmission continuously fails in the RLC sublayer, it is determined that there is a problem in the uplink transmission.

If it is determined that the handover has failed.

When the message received by the terminal does not pass the integrity check.

Hereinafter, the RRC connection reestablishment procedure will be described in more detail.

7 is a diagram illustrating a RRC connection reestablishment procedure.

Referring to FIG. 7, the terminal stops use of all radio bearers which have been set except for Signaling Radio Bearer # 0 (SRB 0) and initializes various sublayers of an access stratum (AS) (S710). In addition, each sublayer and physical layer are set to a default configuration. During this process, the UE maintains an RRC connection state.

The UE performs a cell selection procedure for performing an RRC connection reconfiguration procedure (S720). The cell selection procedure of the RRC connection reestablishment procedure may be performed in the same manner as the cell selection procedure performed by the UE in the RRC idle state, although the UE maintains the RRC connection state.

After performing the cell selection procedure, the terminal checks the system information of the corresponding cell to determine whether the corresponding cell is a suitable cell (S730). If it is determined that the selected cell is an appropriate E-UTRAN cell, the terminal transmits an RRC connection reestablishment request message to the cell (S740).

On the other hand, if it is determined through the cell selection procedure for performing the RRC connection re-establishment procedure that the selected cell is a cell using a different RAT than E-UTRAN, the RRC connection re-establishment procedure is stopped, the terminal is in the RRC idle state Enter (S750).

The terminal may be implemented to complete the confirmation of the appropriateness of the cell within a limited time through the cell selection procedure and the reception of system information of the selected cell. To this end, the UE may drive a timer as the RRC connection reestablishment procedure is initiated. The timer may be stopped when it is determined that the terminal has selected a suitable cell. If the timer expires, the UE may consider that the RRC connection reestablishment procedure has failed and may enter the RRC idle state. This timer is referred to hereinafter as a radio link failure timer. In LTE specification TS 36.331, a timer named T311 may be used as a radio link failure timer. The terminal may obtain the setting value of this timer from the system information of the serving cell.

When the RRC connection reestablishment request message is received from the terminal and the request is accepted, the cell transmits an RRC connection reestablishment message to the terminal.

Upon receiving the RRC connection reestablishment message from the cell, the UE reconfigures the PDCP sublayer and the RLC sublayer for SRB1. In addition, it recalculates various key values related to security setting and reconfigures the PDCP sublayer responsible for security with newly calculated security key values. Through this, SRB 1 between the UE and the cell is opened and an RRC control message can be exchanged. The terminal completes the resumption of SRB1 and transmits an RRC connection reestablishment complete message indicating that the RRC connection reestablishment procedure is completed to the cell (S760).

On the contrary, if the RRC connection reestablishment request message is received from the terminal and the request is not accepted, the cell transmits an RRC connection reestablishment reject message to the terminal.

If the RRC connection reestablishment procedure is successfully performed, the cell and the terminal performs the RRC connection reestablishment procedure. Through this, the UE recovers the state before performing the RRC connection reestablishment procedure and guarantees the continuity of the service to the maximum.

Referring to FIG. 8, the terminal performs an initial cell selection process (S801). The initial cell selection process may be performed when there is no cell information stored for the PLMN or when no suitable cell is found.

If no regular cell is found in the initial cell selection process, the process transitions to an arbitrary cell selection state (S802). The random cell selection state is a state in which neither the regular cell nor the acceptable cell is camped on, and the UE attempts to find an acceptable cell of any PLMN that can be camped. If the terminal does not find any cell that can camp, the terminal stays in any cell selection state until it finds an acceptable cell.

When the normal cell is found in the initial cell selection process, the transition to the normal camp state (S803). The normal camp state refers to a state of camping on a normal cell. The system information selects and monitors a paging channel according to the given information and performs an evaluation process for cell reselection. Can be.

When the cell reselection evaluation process S804 is induced in the normal camp state S803, the cell reselection evaluation process S804 is performed. When a normal cell is found in the cell reselection evaluation process S804, the cell transitions back to the normal camp state S803.

In any cell selection state S802, if an acceptable cell is found, transition to any cell camp state S805. Any cell camp state is a state of camping on an acceptable cell.

In an arbitrary cell camp state (S805), the UE may select and monitor a paging channel according to the information given through the system information, and may perform an evaluation process (S806) for cell reselection. If an acceptable cell is not found in the evaluation process S806 for cell reselection, a transition to an arbitrary cell selection state S802 is made.

Now, the D2D operation will be described. In 3GPP LTE-A, a service related to D2D operation is called proximity based services (ProSe). Hereinafter, ProSe is an equivalent concept to D2D operation, and ProSe may be mixed with D2D operation. Now, ProSe is described.

ProSe has ProSe communication and ProSe direct discovery. ProSe direct communication refers to communication performed between two or more neighboring terminals. The terminals may perform communication using a user plane protocol. ProSe-enabled UE refers to a terminal that supports a procedure related to the requirements of ProSe. Unless otherwise stated, ProSe capable terminals include both public safety UEs and non-public safety UEs. The public safety terminal is a terminal that supports both a public safety-specific function and a ProSe process. A non-public safety terminal is a terminal that supports a ProSe process but does not support a function specific to public safety.

ProSe direct discovery is a process for ProSe capable terminals to discover other ProSe capable terminals that are adjacent to each other, using only the capabilities of the two ProSe capable terminals. EPC-level ProSe discovery refers to a process in which an EPC determines whether two ProSe capable terminals are in proximity and informs the two ProSe capable terminals of their proximity.

For convenience, ProSe direct communication may be referred to as D2D communication, and ProSe direct discovery may be referred to as D2D discovery.

9 shows a reference structure for ProSe.

Referring to FIG. 9, the reference structure for ProSe includes a plurality of UEs including an E-UTRAN, an EPC, a ProSe application program, a ProSe application server, and a ProSe function.

EPC represents the E-UTRAN core network structure. The EPC may include MME, S-GW, P-GW, policy and charging rules function (PCRF), home subscriber server (HSS), and the like.

ProSe application server is a user of ProSe ability to create application functions. The ProSe application server may communicate with an application program in the terminal. An application program in the terminal may use the ProSe capability to create a coagulation function.

The ProSe function may include at least one of the following, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

Interworking via a reference point towards the 3rd party applications

Authentication and configuration of the UE for discovery and direct communication

Enable the functionality of the EPC level ProSe discovery

ProSe related new subscriber data and handling of data storage, and also handling of ProSe identities

Security related functionality

Provide control towards the EPC for policy related functionality

Provide functionality for charging (via or outside of EPC, e.g., offline charging)

Hereinafter, a reference point and a reference interface in the reference structure for ProSe will be described.

PC1: This is a reference point between a ProSe application in a terminal and a ProSe application in a ProSe application server. This is used to define signaling requirements at the application level.

PC2: Reference point between ProSe application server and ProSe function. This is used to define the interaction between the ProSe application server and ProSe functionality. An application data update of the ProSe database of the ProSe function may be an example of the interaction.

PC3: Reference point between the terminal and the ProSe function. Used to define the interaction between the UE and the ProSe function. The setting for ProSe discovery and communication may be an example of the interaction.

PC4: Reference point between the EPC and ProSe functions. It is used to define the interaction between the EPC and ProSe functions. The interaction may exemplify when establishing a path for 1: 1 communication between terminals, or when authenticating a ProSe service for real time session management or mobility management.

PC5: Reference point for using the control / user plane for discovery and communication, relay, and 1: 1 communication between terminals.

PC6: Reference point for using features such as ProSe discovery among users belonging to different PLMNs.

SGi: can be used for application data and application level control information exchange.

<ProSe Direct Communication (D2D Communication): ProSe Direct Communication>.

ProSe direct communication is a communication mode that allows two public safety terminals to communicate directly through the PC 5 interface. This communication mode may be supported both in the case where the terminal receives service within the coverage of the E-UTRAN or in the case of leaving the coverage of the E-UTRAN.

Referring to FIG. 10 (a), terminals A and B may be located outside cell coverage. Referring to FIG. 10 (b), UE A may be located within cell coverage and UE B may be located outside cell coverage. Referring to FIG. 10 (c), UEs A and B may both be located within a single cell coverage. Referring to FIG. 10 (d), UE A may be located within the coverage of the first cell and UE B may be located within the coverage of the second cell.

ProSe direct communication may be performed between terminals in various locations as shown in FIG.

Meanwhile, the following IDs may be used for ProSe direct communication.

Source Layer-2 ID: This ID identifies the sender of the packet on the PC 5 interface.

Destination Layer-2 ID: This ID identifies the target of the packet on the PC 5 interface.

SA L1 ID: This ID is the ID in the scheduling assignment (SA) in the PC 5 interface.

11 shows a user plane protocol stack for ProSe direct communication.

Referring to FIG. 11, the PC 5 interface is composed of a PDCH, RLC, MAC, and PHY layers.

In ProSe direct communication, there may be no HARQ feedback. The MAC header may include a source layer-2 ID and a destination layer-2 ID.

<Radio Resource Allocation for ProSe Direct Communication>.

A ProSe capable terminal can use the following two modes for resource allocation for ProSe direct communication.

1.Mode 1

Mode 1 is a mode for scheduling resources for ProSe direct communication from a base station. In order to transmit data in mode 1, the UE must be in an RRC_CONNECTED state. The terminal requests the base station for transmission resources, and the base station schedules resources for scheduling allocation and data transmission. The terminal may transmit a scheduling request to the base station and may transmit a ProSe BSR (Buffer Status Report). Based on the ProSe BSR, the base station determines that the terminal has data for ProSe direct communication and needs resources for this transmission.

2. Mode 2

Mode 2 is a mode in which the terminal directly selects a resource. The terminal selects a resource for direct ProSe direct communication from a resource pool. The resource pool may be set or predetermined by the network.

On the other hand, when the terminal has a serving cell, that is, the terminal is in the RRC_CONNECTED state with the base station or located in a specific cell in the RRC_IDLE state, the terminal is considered to be within the coverage of the base station.

If the terminal is out of coverage, only mode 2 may be applied. If the terminal is in coverage, mode 1 or mode 2 may be used depending on the configuration of the base station.

If there is no other exceptional condition, the terminal may change the mode from mode 1 to mode 2 or from mode 2 to mode 1 only when the base station is configured.

ProSe direct discovery refers to a procedure used by a ProSe capable terminal to discover other ProSe capable terminals, and may also be referred to as D2D direct discovery or D2D discovery. At this time, the E-UTRA radio signal through the PC 5 interface may be used. Information used for ProSe direct discovery is referred to as discovery information hereinafter.

12 shows a PC 5 interface for D2D discovery.

Referring to FIG. 12, the PC 5 interface is composed of a MAC layer, a PHY layer, and a higher layer, ProSe Protocol layer. The upper layer (ProSe Protocol) deals with the permission for the announcement and monitoring of discovery information, and the content of the discovery information is transparent to the access stratum (AS). )Do. The ProSe Protocol ensures that only valid discovery information is sent to the AS for the announcement.

The MAC layer receives discovery information from a higher layer (ProSe Protocol). The IP layer is not used for sending discovery information. The MAC layer determines the resources used to announce the discovery information received from the upper layer. The MAC layer creates a MAC protocol data unit (PDU) that carries discovery information and sends it to the physical layer. The MAC header is not added.

There are two types of resource allocation for discovery information announcements.

1. Type 1

In a manner in which resources for announcement of discovery information are allocated non-terminal-specific, the base station provides the UEs with a resource pool configuration for discovery information announcement. This configuration may be included in a system information block (SIB) and signaled in a broadcast manner. Alternatively, the configuration may be provided included in a terminal specific RRC message. Alternatively, the configuration may be broadcast signaling or terminal specific signaling of another layer besides the RRC message.

The terminal selects a resource from the indicated resource pool by itself and announces the discovery information using the selected resource. The terminal may announce the discovery information through a randomly selected resource during each discovery period.

2. Type 2

This is a method in which resources for announcement of discovery information are allocated to a terminal. The UE in the RRC_CONNECTED state may request a resource for discovery signal announcement from the base station through the RRC signal. The base station may allocate resources for discovery signal announcement with the RRC signal. The UE may be allocated a resource for monitoring the discovery signal within the configured resource pool.

For the UE in the RRC_IDLE state, the base station 1) may inform the SIB of the type 1 resource pool for discovery signal announcement. ProSe direct UEs are allowed to use the Type 1 resource pool for discovery information announcement in the RRC_IDLE state. Alternatively, the base station may indicate that the base station supports ProSe direct discovery through 2) SIB, but may not provide a resource for discovery information announcement. In this case, the terminal must enter the RRC_CONNECTED state for the discovery information announcement.

For the terminal in the RRC_CONNECTED state, the base station may set whether the terminal uses a type 1 resource pool or type 2 resource for discovery information announcement through an RRC signal.

13 is an embodiment of a ProSe direct discovery process.

Referring to FIG. 13, a terminal A and a terminal B are running a ProSe-enabled application, and the applications can allow D2D communication with each other, that is, a 'friend' relationship with each other. Suppose that a relationship is set. Hereinafter, the terminal B may be expressed as a 'friend' of the terminal A. The application program may be, for example, a social networking program. "3GPP Layers" corresponds to the capabilities of the application program to use the ProSe discovery service, as defined by 3GPP.

Direct discovery of ProSe between terminals A and B may go through the following process.

1. First, terminal A performs regular application-layer communication with an application server. This communication is based on an application programming interface (API).

2. The terminal A's ProSe capable application receives a list of application layer IDs that are in a "friend" relationship. The application layer ID may usually be in the form of a network connection ID. For example, the application layer ID of the terminal A may be in the form of “adam@example.com”.

3. Terminal A requests private expressions codes for a user of terminal A and a personal expression codes for a friend of the user.

4. The 3GPP layers send a presentation code request to the ProSe server.

5. The ProSe server maps application layer IDs provided from the operator or third party application server to personal representation codes. For example, an application layer ID such as “adam@example.com” may be mapped to a personal expression code such as “GTER543 $ # 2FSJ67DFSF”. This mapping may be a parameter (eg, a mapping algorithm) received from an application server in the network. , Key value, etc.).

6. The ProSe server responds to the 3GPP layers with the derived presentation codes. The 3GPP layers inform the ProSe-enabled application that the representation codes for the requested application layer ID were successfully received. Then, a mapping table between the application layer ID and the expression codes is generated.

7. The ProSe-enabled application asks the 3GPP layers to begin the discovery process. That is, it attempts to discover when one of the provided "friends" is near the terminal A and can communicate directly. The 3GPP layers announce the personal expression code of the terminal A (ie, "GTER543 $ # 2FSJ67DFSF" which is the personal expression code of "adam@example.com" in the above example). This is referred to as 'announce' below. The mapping between the application layer ID and the personal expression code of the corresponding application may be known only by 'friends' who have previously received such a mapping relationship, and may perform the mapping.

8. Suppose that the terminal B is running the same ProSe capable application as the terminal A, and has performed the above steps 3 to 6. 3GPP layers on terminal B can perform ProSe discovery.

9. When the terminal B receives the above-mentioned announcement from the terminal A, the terminal B determines whether the personal expression code included in the announcement is known to the user and mapped to the application layer ID. As described in step 8, since the terminal B also performed steps 3 to 6, the terminal B knows the personal expression code, the mapping between the personal expression code and the application layer ID, and the corresponding application program. Therefore, the terminal B can discover the terminal A from the announcement of the terminal A. In terminal B, the 3GPP layers inform the ProSe-enabled application that it found “adam@example.com”.

In FIG. 13, the discovery procedure has been described in consideration of all of terminals A, B, ProSe server, and application server. In view of the operation aspect between the terminals A and B, the terminal A transmits a signal called an announcement (this process may be called an announcement), and the terminal B receives the announcement and receives the terminal A. To discover. That is, in the aspect of directly performing only one step among operations performed in each terminal, the discovery process of FIG. 13 may be referred to as a single step discovery procedure.

14 is another embodiment of a ProSe direct discovery process.

In FIG. 14, terminals 1 to 4 are terminals included in a specific group communication system enablers (GCSE) group. Assume that terminal 1 is a discoverer, and terminals 2, 3, and 4 are discoverers. Terminal 5 is a terminal irrelevant to the discovery process.

The terminal 1 and the terminal 2-4 may perform the following operation in the discovery process.

First, UE 1 broadcasts a targeted discovery request message (hereinafter, abbreviated as discovery request message or M1) to discover whether any UE included in the GCSE group is around. The target discovery request message may include a unique application program group ID or layer-2 group ID of the specific GCSE group. In addition, the target discovery request message may include a unique ID of the terminal 1, that is, an application program personal ID. The target discovery request message may be received by the terminals 2, 3, 4, and 5.

UE 5 transmits no response message. On the other hand, terminals 2, 3, and 4 included in the GCSE group transmit a target discovery response message (hereinafter, abbreviated as discovery response message or M2) in response to the target discovery request message. The target discovery response message may include a unique application program personal ID of the terminal transmitting the message.

Looking at the operation between the terminals in the ProSe discovery process described with reference to FIG. 14, the discoverer (terminal 1) transmits a target discovery request message and receives a target discovery response message that is a response thereto. In addition, when the person who is found (for example, the terminal 2) receives the target discovery request message, the person who is found (for example, the terminal 2) transmits the target discovery response message in response thereto. Therefore, each terminal performs two steps of operation. In this regard, the ProSe discovery process of FIG. 14 may be referred to as a two-step discovery procedure.

In addition to the discovery procedure described with reference to FIG. 14, if the terminal 1 (discoverer) transmits a discovery confirm message (hereinafter abbreviated as M3) in response to the target discovery response message, this is a three-step discovery procedure. It can be called.

Meanwhile, the terminal may provide relay functionality or discover an adjacent network node (referred to as a relay node) that is already provided. At this time, the network may not know the existence of the relay node adjacent to the terminal. In this case, the network may perform inefficient relay node selection. For example, the network may unnecessarily instruct the terminal to activate the relay function even though there is already a relay node providing the relay function around the terminal.

In addition, if other terminals adjacent to the terminal can identify the existence of the relay node, it is helpful for efficient communication to the other terminals.

For example, suppose that UE 2 estimates a communication delay when UE 1 is used as a relay node. If the terminal 2 knows that the network node adjacent to the terminal 1 provides the relay function to the terminal 1, the terminal 2 can know that the terminal 1 is at least a two-hop repeater can more accurately estimate the communication delay .

In the following description, uplink means communication from a terminal to a base station (network). The network node may represent a terminal or a base station or both. The setting may mean a rule determined by the network or predetermined to the terminal.

In the present invention, the network node may provide a relay function for other network nodes. At this time, the network node may signal that it provides a relay function. In addition, the network node may signal that it uses a specific resource allowed only for the relay function. As described above, the network node may be a terminal. The terminal providing the relay function may be classified into a UE-NW repeater and a UE-UE repeater according to which network nodes the relay function is provided.

15 shows a UE-NW repeater.

Referring to FIG. 15, UE 2 153 serves as a UE-NW repeater. That is, the terminal 2 153 is a network node that relays between the terminal 1 152 located outside the coverage 154 of the network and the network 151, and in this case, the terminal 2 153 is connected to the UE-. It can be called an NE repeater.

In FIG. 15, since the terminal 1 152 is located outside the network coverage, the terminal 1 152 may not communicate with the network 151 unless the terminal 2 153 provides a relay function.

16 shows a UE-UE repeater.

Referring to FIG. 16, UE 2 163 serves as a UE-UE repeater. That is, the terminal 2 163 is a network node relaying between another terminal 161 located outside the coverage of the specific terminal 162 and the specific terminal 162, in which case the terminal 2 163 is connected to the UE. It can be called a UE repeater.

In FIG. 16, since the terminals 1, 3 (162, 161) are located out of coverage with each other, the terminal 2 163 may not communicate with each other unless the terminal 2 163 provides a relay function.

The present invention will now be described.

17 illustrates network coverage and locations of terminals.

Referring to FIG. 17, it is assumed that terminals 1, 2, and 3 were originally in network coverage and then moved. As a result of the movement, suppose that terminals 1 and 3 are located outside the network coverage, and terminal 2 is located within the network coverage.

At this time, the transmission range of the terminal 1 (or terminal 3) may partially overlap with the network coverage. Interference can occur in such overlapping areas, so the overlapping area is sometimes called an interference region.

When the terminal 1, 3 detects that the network coverage is out of range, it revokes the settings applied within the network coverage (for example, the D2D settings for the D2D operation) by itself, and the settings applied outside the network coverage. It can be invoked. Settings applied outside the network coverage may be previously known or stored to the terminals 1 and 3 and may be settings for D2D operation.

That is, when the terminal is out of network coverage, the terminal may replace the D2D setting provided by the network with another D2D setting. In this case, the other D2D setting may be a setting previously provided to the terminal.

Hereinafter, for convenience of description, it is assumed that the first D2D setting is for D2D operation as a setting controlled by a network, and the second D2D setting is for D2D operation as a previously known or stored setting to the terminal. The second D2D configuration may be a configuration previously provided / stored in a subscriber identification module (SIM) or a memory of the terminal, or may be a configuration known in advance for each network.

The following shows an example of the first D2D setting.

The first D2D configuration of the table indicates a resource that can be used for ProSe direct communication. For example, in the above table, 'commRxPool' indicates a resource allowed for the UE to receive ProSe direct communication. 'CommTxPoolNormalCommon' represents a resource allowed to transmit ProSe direct communication in RRC_Idle state. 'CommonTxPoolExceptional' indicates resources allowed to transmit ProSe direct communication under exceptional conditions in the RRC_connected state or during the RRC connection establishment process.

The following shows another example of the first D2D setting.

Another example of the first D2D configuration of the table indicates a resource that can be used for ProSe direct discovery. For example, the 'discTxPoolCommon' indicates a resource allowed for the UE to transmit a ProSe direct discovery announcement in the RRC_idle state. 'DiscInterFreqList' indicates neighboring frequencies on which ProSe direct discovery announcements are supported.

Then, the terminal may be expressed as using the first D2D setting when it is detected that it is within the network coverage, and using the second D2D setting when it is detected that it is outside the network coverage. However, the operation of the terminal may cause the following problem.

1) Interference between terminal groups.

Referring to FIG. 18, UE 2 may belong to Group 1, and UEs 1 and 3 may belong to Group 2. At this time, the resource pool used by the group 1 to which the terminal 2 belongs and the resource pool used by the group 2 to which the terminals 1 and 3 belong may be partially overlapped. The resource pool used by group 1 may be a resource pool based on a first D2D configuration provided by a network, and the resource pool used by group 2 may be a resource pool based on a second D2D configuration preset to a terminal.

Suppose that terminals 1 and 3 are included in the same group and are communicating with each other. And assume that terminal 2 belongs to a different group. Each terminal applies the first D2D setting within network coverage and detects that it is not being serviced by the network (eg, E-UTRA) (ie, detects that it is located outside the network coverage). 2 Suppose you want to apply D2D settings.

When the terminals 1 and 3 are out of network coverage, the terminals 1 and 3 will apply the second D2D configuration, and thus the terminals 1 and 3 will apply the D2D resource based on the second D2D configuration to perform the D2D operation. If the D2D resource overlaps with the D2D resource used in the network coverage, the D2D operation between the UEs 1 and 3 outside the network coverage is performed by the D2D operation by the UE 2 in the network coverage, for example, the D2D signal transmission of the UE 2. Will cause interference.

2) Communication inefficiency in terminal group

Suppose that terminals 1 and 2 belong to the same group and perform D2D operation within network coverage. Then, suppose that only the terminal 1 moves out of network coverage, and the resource according to the first D2D configuration is changed to the resource according to the second D2D configuration. And, suppose that the terminal 2 does not share the second D2D configuration.

In this case, as described with reference to FIG. 18, there may be a portion where the resources according to the first D2D configuration and the resources according to the second D2D configuration are different from each other and do not match. If the terminal 1 transmits the D2D signal using the mismatched portion of the resources according to the second D2D configuration, the terminal 2 cannot receive such a signal. Therefore, a loss occurs in the D2D operation between the terminals 1 and 2. This loss is undesirable because D2D operation requires high reliability.

Meanwhile, in the above example, only the scenario in which the terminal goes out of network coverage is described, but the above-described problem does not occur only in this case. That is, the same problem may occur in a scenario in which the terminal enters from outside the network coverage.

For example, the UEs 1 and 2 perform a D2D operation using the D2D settings (second D2D settings) that are shared with each other outside the network coverage, and only the terminal 1 moves to the network coverage to suddenly set the first D2D settings. Suppose you use Even in this case, D2D settings that are not shared between terminals 1 and 2 are used. Therefore, a loss occurs in the D2D operation between the terminals 1 and 2.

As described in the above example, when the UE leaves or enters network coverage, changing the D2D configuration without resource coordination may cause interference between different UE groups and loss of D2D operation between UEs in the same group. Can be. Therefore, there is a need for a method and apparatus for D2D operation that can solve these problems.

In order to solve the above-described problem, the present invention may consider a method in which the D2D resources in the network coverage according to the first D2D configuration and the D2D resources outside the network coverage according to the second D2D configuration are the same or mostly overlap. That is, a method of coordinating D2D resource information used within the network coverage and D2D resource information used outside the network coverage may be considered.

There are two approaches to resource coordination.

1) an approach in which a terminal outside network coverage follows resource information in network coverage,

2) An approach in which a terminal in network coverage follows resource information outside of network coverage.

In the second approach, the network should update the system information indicating the D2D resource pool in consideration of the D2D resource information outside the network coverage or provide dedicated signaling to the terminal for updating the D2D resource information. This approach may be undesirable because the signaling overhead is too large. Therefore, the first approach is preferred.

The easiest way to implement the first approach is for the terminal in coverage to provide its resource pool information to the terminal outside the coverage. At this time, the terminal in the coverage may broadcast its own resource pool information.

When the terminal outside the coverage receives the resource information from the terminal within the coverage, it may follow the D2D resource information received from the terminal within the coverage instead of the above-described second D2D setting. The UE outside the coverage may use the second D2D configuration only when no D2D resource information is received from the UE in coverage.

Referring to FIG. 19, UE 1 and UE 2 located in any one of inside and outside network coverage (hereinafter, simply referred to as coverage) perform a D2D operation with each other (S241).

Terminals 1 and 2 are located one by one within or outside network coverage due to movement (S242).

The terminal outside the network coverage of the terminals 1 and 2 performs the D2D operation using the same resources as the resources of the terminal within the network coverage (S243).

For example, while the terminals 1 and 2 are both located within the coverage to perform the D2D operation, the terminal 1 may move out of the coverage and the terminal 2 may be in the coverage. In this case, when the terminal 1 receives the resource information from the terminal 2, the terminal 1 sets the D2D resource accordingly. If the terminal 1 does not receive the resource information, the terminal 1 sets / uses the D2D resource according to the predetermined second D2D setting.

On the other hand, resources are also used to provide resource information. Unnecessarily providing the resource information is a waste of resources. If the terminal in the coverage can know whether there is a terminal outside the coverage to perform the D2D operation, it is possible to prevent the unnecessary resource information. That is, the terminal in the coverage may provide the resource information only when there is a terminal outside the coverage to perform the D2D operation.

Referring to FIG. 20, the terminal performs a D2D operation with another terminal (S251).

The terminal may detect that it is outside of network coverage (S252).

The terminal transmits information to inform the other terminal that it is outside the network coverage (S253).

The following table is an example of information indicating whether the terminal is outside the network coverage.

-ASN1START

MasterInformationBlock-SL :: = SEQUENCE {
sl-Bandwidth-r12 ENUMERATED {
n6, n15, n25, n50, n75, n100},
tdd-SubframeAssignment-r12 TDD-SubframeAssignmentSC-r12,
directFrameNumber-r12 BIT STRING (SIZE (10)),
directSubFrameNumber-r12 INTEGER (0..9),
inCoverage-r12 BOOLEAN,
reserved-r12 BIT STRING (SIZE (27))
}

-ASN1STOP

In Table 4, 'sl-Bandwidth' is a parameter for transmission band setting, n6 may correspond to 6 resource blocks, n15 may correspond to the number of resource blocks, and so on.

'DirectFrameNumber' indicates a frame number.

'InCoverage' indicates whether the terminal transmitting the information of Table 4 is within the coverage of the network, for example, the E-UTRAN.

As described above, when the terminal detects that the terminal is located outside the network coverage, the terminal may broadcast information indicating that the terminal is outside the network coverage. The terminal may be a terminal for transmitting a synchronization signal. The other terminal may know that the terminal is out of network coverage through the information transmitted by the terminal, and thus may perform necessary subsequent operations.

In FIG. 20, an example in which a terminal determines whether it is within network coverage and notifies another neighboring terminal thereof is described.

It is assumed that terminal 1 is a terminal within coverage.

Referring to FIG. 21, UE 1 transmits a D2D signal 1 (which may be referred to as D2D message 1). The D2D signal 1 may be a signal for inquiring whether a terminal out of coverage exists or a signal for performing a specific operation to the terminal 2 (S261). The D2D signal 1 may include information indicating whether the terminal transmitting the D2D signal 1 is within network coverage or outside the network coverage. The D2D signal 1 is a frequency, a bandwidth, an uplink downlink classification method for a D2D operation, a frame number for a D2D operation, a subframe number, a terminal ID of the terminal 2, an ID of a group to which the terminal 2 belongs, and a direct terminal to which the terminal 2 belongs. It may include some or all of a communication cluster ID, information indicating a D2D transmission resource, and information indicating a D2D reception resource.

The D2D signal 1 may include information indicating a condition that the terminal 2 should evaluate based on network coverage to another terminal (eg, terminal 2) and an operation that the terminal 2 should perform if the condition is satisfied. have.

That is, the D2D signal 1 may include information or conditions used to determine whether the terminal 2 performs the operation. If the condition is satisfied, the terminal 2 may perform the operation indicated by the D2D signal 1.

The condition may be any one or a combination of two or more of the following.

1) the terminal (terminal 2, the same below) is outside the network coverage,

2) UE is in network coverage

3) UE is not receiving service by E-UTRA

4) UE is receiving service by E-UTRA

5) The terminal cannot detect any synchronization signal transmitted by the network

6) UE cannot detect any D2D synchronization signal

7) The terminal cannot find any terminal providing the relay function.

It may be one of the following states that the terminal is out of network coverage.

1) the terminal does not receive service from any network (ie, the terminal has not selected a regular cell or an acceptable cell to camp on for any RAT), or 2) the terminal does not receive service by E-UTRA. State (ie, the UE cannot select a regular cell or an acceptable cell to camp on in E-UTRA). 3) A state in which the UE cannot find a cell that provides a measurement strength or measurement quality above a threshold at a frequency for which D2D is to be performed.

The D2D signal 1 may separately indicate the requesting operation and the execution condition of the operation. That is, the requesting operation and the condition may be separately indicated. For example, a D2D signal indicating the requesting operation and a D2D signal indicating the execution condition of the operation may be provided. Alternatively, the same may be indicated by a field indicating a requesting operation and a field indicating an execution condition of the operation within the same D2D signal.

Alternatively, the requesting operation and the condition may be indicated in a combined form. That is, the requesting operation and its execution condition may be indicated through the value of a single field of the D2D signal.

An arbitrary number may be indicated in a specific field of the D2D signal. This random number can be used as the ID of the D2D signal.

In addition, the D2D signal 1 may include information indicating a terminal to transmit the D2D signal 2 (also referred to as D2D message 2) in response. That is, the D2D signal 1 may include an ID indicating a receiver. The D2D signal 1 may include at least one of a group ID and a terminal ID. The group ID and the terminal ID may sequentially indicate a terminal group or a terminal to receive the D2D signal.

Alternatively, the D2D signal 1 may instruct to transmit the D2D signal 2 in response to any terminal receiving the D2D signal without indicating the specific terminal.

The D2D signal 1 may indicate an operation of requesting a terminal receiving the signal. For example, when the terminal 1 transmits the D2D signal 1 to the terminal 2, the D2D signal 1 may request the terminal 2 to transmit a response signal.

Meanwhile, various signals (messages) may be used as the signal serving as the D2D signal 1. For example, a D2D discovery signal / message may be used as the D2D signal 1. Alternatively, the D2D communication message may be used as the D2D signal 1. The D2D signal means data transmitted through a channel defined for D2D communication between terminals, and the channel defined for D2D communication is a channel for transmitting / receiving D2D data or for transmitting / receiving transmission-related control information of the D2D data. It may be a channel or a channel for transmitting and receiving control information related to general configuration for D2D operation.

Alternatively, the D2D synchronization signal may be used as the D2D signal 1. For example, UE 1 may transmit a synchronization signal to D2D signal 1. Upon receiving the synchronization signal, the terminal 2 may transmit the D2D signal 2 as a response. At this time, the terminal 2 may synchronize with the synchronization signal. The terminal 1 may transmit a synchronization signal only in a certain section.

After receiving the D2D signal 1, the terminal 2 evaluates the necessity of performing an operation indicated by the D2D signal 1 (S262). As described above, the D2D signal 1 may include at least one of an operation of requesting for the terminal 2, an execution condition of the operation, an ID of a receiver, and an ID of the D2D signal 1.

If it is determined that the terminal 2 needs to perform the requesting operation, the terminal 2 performs the operation (S263).

If the terminal 2 receives the D2D signal 1 including the group ID as a receiver, the terminal ID of the terminal 2 must be the same as or correspond to the group ID included in the D2D signal 1, so that the D2D signal 1 is not associated with the terminal 2. It can be said to be valid.

If the group ID of the terminal 2 is not the same as the group ID included in the D2D signal 1, the D2D signal 1 is not valid for the terminal 2. Therefore, the terminal 2 ignores the D2D signal 1 and does not perform the operation indicated by the D2D signal 1.

Alternatively, if the terminal 2 receives the D2D signal 1 including the terminal ID as an ID indicating the reception subject, the D2D signal 1 is valid for the terminal 2 only when the ID of the terminal 2 is the same as the terminal ID indicating the reception subject. .

If the terminal 2 receives the D2D signal 1 not including the group ID or the terminal ID indicating the receiving entity, the terminal 2 may perform the operation requested by the D2D signal 1 regardless of the group ID of the terminal 2 or the ID of the terminal 2. have.

Meanwhile, if the D2D signal 1 includes a condition, the terminal 2 may perform an operation requested by the D2D signal 1 only when the condition is satisfied.

If the condition is that 'terminal (terminal 2, the same below) is out of network coverage', this means that the terminal has not found any suitable cell or acceptable cell to camp on. can do. Alternatively, the terminal may correspond to a state of 'EMM-REGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE' or 'EMM-DEREGISTERED.NO-CELL-AVAILABLE'. Alternatively, the condition may correspond to a case where the terminal does not find any cell that satisfies Equation 1 above.

If the condition is 'the terminal is not being served by the E-UTRA', this may mean that the terminal has not found any regular cells or acceptable cells to camp on.

If the condition is 'the terminal is outside the network coverage', this may mean that the terminal has not found any regular cells or acceptable cells to camp on. Alternatively, if the condition is that the terminal is outside the network coverage, it may mean a state in which the terminal cannot find a cell that provides a measurement strength or measurement quality higher than or equal to a threshold at a frequency to which D2D is to be performed.

When the terminal 2 satisfies any one of the above conditions, it determines that the operation requested by the D2D signal 1 is necessary, and performs the operation. For example, the operation may be to transmit a response to the received D2D signal 1. In this case, the response may be referred to as D2D signal 2 (or D2D message 2), and may include at least one of the following information.

1) Terminal ID of terminal 2: This information informs the terminal (eg, terminal 1) receiving the D2D signal 2 of who has transmitted the D2D signal 2.

2) Group ID of UE 2: This information informs the group of UE that has transmitted D2D signal 2.

3) Condition indicated by D2D signal 1: This information indicates which condition the terminal transmitting the D2D signal 2 transmits the D2D signal 2.

4) Any number indicated by D2D signal 1: This information may indicate to which D2D signal 1 D2D signal 2 responds. For example, when the D2D signal 1 includes an arbitrary number X, the X is also included in the D2D signal 2 transmitted in response to the D2D signal 1. This allows you to determine whether it is an appropriate response. Meanwhile, the random number may not be necessarily one number but may be expressed as a function of a plurality of parameters. The function may be shared to terminals belonging to the same group. Terminals within the same group may share one of the plurality of parameters and commonly use it as an input of the function.

Referring to FIG. 22, UE 1 broadcasts a D2D discovery signal (D2D discovery message) (S201). That is, the case where the D2D discovery signal is used as the D2D signal 1 (D2D message 1). Terminals 2, 3, and 4 receive the broadcasted D2D signal 1.

The D2D discovery signal may include a group ID indicating a reception subject, information indicating a requesting operation, information indicating a condition for performing the operation, and an ID for a D2D discovery signal.

For example, the D2D discovery signal is N as a group ID indicating the receiving subject, the information indicating the requesting operation is a D2D response request (that is, a request for transmission of the D2D signal 2), and the information indicating the execution condition of the operation is 'E' -Out of coverage of UTRA ', the ID for the D2D discovery signal may be given as an arbitrary number M.

If the terminal 2 is in E-UTRA coverage and the group ID is N (S202), the terminal 2 does not satisfy the execution condition. Therefore, the terminal 2 does not transmit the D2D response to the terminal 1.

If the terminal 3 is outside the E-UTRA coverage and the group ID is N (S203), the execution condition is satisfied. Therefore, the terminal 2 transmits a D2D response (D2D signal 2) to the terminal 1 (S205). At this time, the D2D response may be transmitted including the ID of the D2D signal 1 in order to identify which D2D signal 1 response. That is, in the example, the D2D response includes the number M, which is an ID for the D2D discovery signal.

If the terminal 4 is outside the E-UTRA coverage and the group ID is N + 2 (S204), the terminal 4 does not satisfy the execution condition. Therefore, the terminal 4 does not transmit the D2D response to the terminal 1.

Referring to FIG. 23, the terminal 1100 includes a processor 1110, a memory 1120, and an RF unit 1130. The processor 1110 implements the proposed functions, processes, and / or methods. For example, the processor 1110 transmits a D2D signal 1 to another terminal and receives a D2D signal 2 that is a response to the D2D signal 1. This may determine whether the other terminal is outside the network coverage. If the other terminal is out of network coverage, resource pool information may be broadcast. Then, another terminal may use the same D2D resource as the terminal 1100 using resource pool information.

The RF unit 1130 is connected to the processor 1110 to transmit and receive a radio signal.

The processor may include application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), other chipsets, logic circuits, and / or data processing devices. The memory may include read-only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), flash memory, memory card, storage medium and / or other storage device. The RF unit may include a baseband circuit for processing a radio signal. When the embodiment is implemented in software, the above-described technique may be implemented as a module (process, function, etc.) for performing the above-described function. The module may be stored in memory and executed by a processor. The memory may be internal or external to the processor and may be coupled to the processor by various well known means.
